Darby Fire Co. # 1 Station 4

10 years ago today, the members of Darby #1 and numerous other fire departments from Delaware County and surrounding counties, responded to this LPG fire at Scully Welding Supply on Oak Ave in former Cō 6s(now company 33) local. Members would fight this fire for several hours as multiple structures became involved in fire while the 30,000lb propane tank involved in fire was cooled and brought under control.

Around the 5:00 mark in the video you can see former engine 04-2 taking the first engine assignment followed closely behind by the retired pipeline 42. 04-2’s crew secured their own water supply and would place multiple hand lines and large diameter lines and blitz fires into service to battle the blaze.

**The loud pops you hear are smaller propane tanks exploding (BLEVE) which also created a hazard that hindered the fire fight

I remember that day very well. My daughter and I were driving down Chester Pike when we heard the explosion.

Lost my whole house I had in storage at Kaiser's.😞

I remember that fire, very scary.

Sad day ..😞😞

I still remember Chris Caruso kicking the bunk room door open on the crew 😂😂😂

That was not a fun day

Remember that day
